Ingredients
Scale
- 1 onion, diced
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 green bell pepper, diced

- 1 cup heavy cream
- 8 oz pasta (penne or rotini)

- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, add ground beef, and cook until browned. Drain any excess fat.
